"Jaime Kowal is a woman of both insight and integrity who has attracted
healers from all parts of the West Coast. Her photography captures their
essence and her gift has been to build a bridge between people on a Quest
and those with the skills to help. This book is filled with wonderful Energy
and opens a door to a rich array of healers and their collective wisdom.
Enjoy!”
